The Ottoman Empire fell apart after World War IFrance took over its remains (Syria and Lebanon) in 1920 The Alawite Sunni Muslims joined the new Syrian military and got close to the French authorities *The Alawites make up a small part of Syria . They were considered heretics for a long time The Syrian Army took over the area when the French left Most of the despots were Alawite including Hafez-al-Assad who came to power in 1970 the Alawites thought that they could protect themselves from the Sunni by staying in powerThe Sunni were angered due to their dearth of political power Lebanon had their own civil war (Christians v.s. Muslims)Hafez fought on behalf of the Christians Many of the Syrians then decided that Assad should go The Syrians launched a minor civil war for 6 years Hafez ended the war by slaughtering thousands of citizens in HamaHafez concluded that killing was the solution Hafez's son Bashar al-Assad became president in 2000 A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words RebelsGovernmentHow The Syrian Civil War Began

A couple of teenagers painted anti-government slogans on a school wall Authorities arrested and tortured the teens In 2011 people began to protest and authorities killed several of them under Assad's order People began to protest and authorities killed 4 of the protestorsBashar followed his father's example from the Hama massacre and killed many rebels Nationwide protests demanded Assad's resignation Eventually the rebels formed at least a thousand of different groups and violently fought back July 2011: The Free Syrian Army is made to protect civilians Sunni extremists formed al-Qaeda but were almost completely destroyed in 2007in 2011 al-Qaeda began to rebuild itselfThe leader (Abu Bakr) sent Abu Mohammad to start the organization in Syria, seeing they had opportunities thereMohammad had success but the group split into two (one of which was ISIS)"Some saw the sun""Some saw the smoke""Some heard the gun"Assad should leave his office and the Syrians should have the privilage to vote for their president. Countries should put their differences aside and work together to defeat ISIS once and for all. Thesis:The rebels are right in defending themselves from the government's attacks. Although these lyrics are quite vague compared to what Syrians see everyday, they help us realize just how devastating war is. Some people woke up and saw the sun along with the smoke ruining their homes. Others heard guns going off and never woke up to see the sun again.

We see videos on TV, Facebook. The danger is getting closer to us."– Golan resident Badi'a Ahmed, Israel Hayom newsletter, Aug. 29, 2014

According to this resident, everyone in Golan Heights will fall victim to the crisis. He continues by saying that ISIS does not show mercy to anyone they come across. They will kill if they choose to no matter who you are or what you've done. In this case, we are all in danger and no one is to say who will live and who will die.
